Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan may never know what happened in this underground fortification twenty years ago.
He Xie could probably guess some clues, but he knew very little.
But there is one person in this world who must know the whole truth.
That’s Ding Sitian!
He Xie stood alone at the entrance of the long and dark tunnel, stopping at the door of the first room at the tunnel entrance.
It was pitch dark in the tunnel, but He Xie's eyes could penetrate the darkness and clearly see every detail on the door of this room!
This door is just an ordinary wooden door, but compared to other doors in the corridor, this door is obviously much wider, and the door opening is also much higher.
Although the corrosion of time has made this wooden door mottled and decayed, there are still some traces that have not disappeared with the passage of time.
For example, words engraved by humans
"I hate you, but I never wanted to kill you, I'm sorry."
This line of writing looks more like it was picked out with fingernails!
Although the font is a little weirdly distorted, you can still see its graceful temperament. Obviously, it was left by a woman.
This is a woman who, twenty years ago, stood in the position where He Xie stands now, and with whatever mood she had, she dug out this line of words with her fingernails!
He Xie noticed this line of writing when he was sending Hu Bayi and the others out. Therefore, when he arrived at the stairwell later, he did not find Ding Sitian's body and was not too surprised.
Although he had never seen Ding Sitian's handwriting, he was almost certain that this line of writing must have been left by Ding Sitian!
Twenty years ago, maybe Ding Sitian was not dead at all!
He gently stroked the beautiful words, but his mind was rapidly speculating on various possibilities.
The reason why he cares so much about this underground palace and even the truth twenty years ago is because he knows very well that these are the things he is about to face.
If Ding Sitian is really not dead, why do Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan insist that she is?
And why did Ding Sitian leave such a sentence here?
Who does she hate? Her comrades?
Could it be that Ding Sixian was responsible for the tragedy twenty years ago?
Ding Sitian, what is the origin?
This sentence alone is enough to prove that the story told by Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan is not true at all!
In their story, Ding Sitian is a girl with a kind and simple heart, a lively and cheerful personality, and a love for everything.
But if this is the case, where do these four words "I hate you" come from?
The truth of twenty years ago seems to be becoming more and more confusing.
He Xie looked at the time. It was now 2:50 in the morning, and there were only ten minutes left before the flowers on the other side bloomed.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened the wooden door of this room.
The scene behind the door made He Xie slightly startled.
This is not a room at all, behind the door, but a wide passage!
At the end of the passage, there is a huge cat head sculpture, which is exactly the same as the two sculptures in the underground space where grasshoppers were infested before!
Although he was slightly surprised, He Xie was not too surprised.
The sculptures that were clearly visited by the Japanese army in that underground space before and are still in the underground fortifications can also prove this.
Therefore, in this underground fortification, there must be a passage that can lead directly to the underground space.
The wooden door disguised as a room is obviously wider and taller than the doors in other rooms. Apparently, it was for the convenience of the Japanese army when transporting the sculptures.
Did Ding Sitian, who survived that year, walk into the underground palace alone along this passage?
He Xie cautiously walked along the passage. There were nothing in the brick wall holes on both sides except some scratches and bump marks.
It wasn't until He Xie walked up to the cat head sculpture that he discovered that underneath the sculpture, there was a neat set of clothes, a pair of cloth shoes that were obviously women's size, and a military green cloth bag.
He Xie picked up the clothes, shook them off and looked at them. Sure enough, this was also a woman's military uniform.
Not only are there military uniforms, but they also include women's underwear and inner treasury.
There was nothing in his pocket, so He Xie opened the bag and took out two notebooks.
A book was covered in red. He Xie opened it and looked at it. It was the Little Red Book from that time. The pages had not been bitten by insects. The cover was very worn, but the pages inside looked new. Obviously, the book
The owner must have taken great care of this book.
Apart from the quotations, there is no other information left on it.
After He Xie looked through it carefully, he immediately picked up another notebook.
This is a diary.
After turning the first page, He Xie's eyes narrowed immediately.
The writing on this and the writing on the wooden door before were definitely written by the same person. This is Ding Sitian’s notebook!
That night twenty years ago, a tragedy suddenly occurred. Everyone who entered the underground palace died. Only Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan escaped.
Maybe they didn't escape, but were sent out by Ding Sitian.
Then the girl returned to this terrifying and dark underground fortification alone, and carved that line of words at the door of the first room in the tunnel.
That might be her last farewell to this world.
Then the girl walked here step by step, took off all her clothes, put down everything, and walked into the underground palace.
Why did she do this?
He Xie flipped through the notebook page by page. Although he read quickly, he did not miss a word.
In this notebook is the diary written by Ding Sitian after she jumped in line.
The Ding Sitian in the diary is completely different from the girl described by Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan!
The further He Xie looked back, the more shocked he became. By the time he finished reading the last page, his heart was filled with deep shock.
Closing the diary, He Xie let out a long breath, his expression a little confused and a little disappointed.
What suddenly dawned on him was that he found many answers to what happened twenty years ago from this diary.
For example, a girl who often talks about "connecting life and death, connecting yin and yang" would never be loved or cared about by comrades in that era, because she was surrounded by complete materialists.
On the contrary, Ding Sitian has always been the target of criticism and abuse.
When a girl from the city comes to a grassland with harsh conditions, she not only has to bear the heavy workload, but also has to bear the contempt and insults of everyone. She is often picked out for public criticism and self-examination.
How could Ding Sitian be cheerful and lively like this?
So Ding Sitian hated her comrades and even hated the whole world.
She did nothing wrong, but her father and mother were criticized, and she could not escape the bad luck. A young girl in her prime had to suffer such a tragic fate. How angry and painful would she feel in her heart?
The only thing that makes her life colorful is the two older boys Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who have always loved and sympathized with her.
Both of them like her and want to take her out of the sea of misery. Although she prefers the handsome and unrestrained Hu Bayi, she cannot bear to refuse Wang Kaixuan, who is infatuated with her.
These are the only two people who can warm her, and she doesn't want to lose either of them.
But some things have to make a choice, and in the end, she chose Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi did not disappoint her either. This boy was very kind to her. Even after learning that she had been pursuing the legend of Bianhuahua, he did not say anything on the surface but secretly investigated with Wang Kaixuan.
Both of these people had some magical abilities that she didn't understand. Finally, through some information revealed by a rancher named Lao Yangpi, and their own inferences, they learned that the legendary Bianhuahua was probably in the
In the Tomb of the Millennium Goddess on the banks of the Ergun River.
So, Wang Kaixuan, who loves her like a brother, and her lover Hu Bayi, gave her a big surprise.
They secretly planned everything without telling her, used some tricks, and quietly guided all the educated youths to decide to go to the Tomb of the Thousand-Year Goddess to destroy the Four Old Ages.
When Ding Sitian learned all this from Hu Ba, she was so happy that she almost went crazy!
